What is RideLondon?

Celebrating the legacy for cycling created by the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, RideLondon starts in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, then follows a 100-mile route on closed roads through the capital and into Surrey’s stunning countryside. With a route made famous by the world’s best cyclists at the London 2012 Olympics, it’s a truly spectacular event for all involved. The route then finishes on The Mall in central London.

Why ride for the McPin Foundation?

Approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year, and the number of people who self-harm or have suicidal thoughts is increasing. We are determined to help fund vital mental health research that will save and improve lives. We believe that people affected by mental health problems have valuable and unique expertise that can be utilised in all stages of research to improve its authenticity, relevance and impact. We work hard to make sure our work is transitional, meaning that our research has the potential to influence knowledge, services and policy to improve mental health in communities everywhere.

How can we support your RideLondon journey?
